Chapter 20
『The depth of the guest room bathtub has been abnormally distorted. The water churns without end, and the body has sunk. It will never surface again.』
"……."
A cutscene line from the event 『Beneath Shallow Water』.
'The intervention condition is the user physically pulling the Drenched One out of the bathtub.'
This, too, was an event where Distraction was possible.
In exchange for temporarily blocking the bathtub's erosion, penalties followed without exception. A 100% fixed trigger of 'drowning nightmare.' The persistent, vicious hallucination of being submerged in water….
'On top of that, a sharp decline in lung function and reduced oxygen saturation. A 90% chance of sleep apnea episodes during sleep. And a 30% increase in command error rate due to system anomaly.'
The worst conditions imaginable—but with luck, a 'victim transfer flag' could be raised. The probability of the user becoming the abduction target instead of the guest would activate.
If this flag functioned properly, the human guests would be relatively safe.
